JOHN E. SCHLlEPER, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.

LIVE-STEAM HEATER AND PURlFlER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,489, dated January18, 1898.

Application filed May 11,1897. Serial No. 636,125. (No model.)

To all whom t may conceive.-

Be it known that-I, JOHN E. SCHLIEPEE, a

citizen of the United States, residing at- Alle-v gheny, in the countyof Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvementsin Live-Steam Heaters and Purifiers 5 and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification, in Which- Figure l. is alongitudinal section of my improved live-steam heater and purifier. Fig.2 is a vertical transverse section on line X X of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is aside elevation, a portion of the shell being broken away to show theinner cylinder.

My invention relates to that class of feedwater heaters in which theWater admitted thereto falls onto and from a series of pans arrangedtherein on different horizontal planes and eventually passes from theheater through a pu rif yin g-chamber 5 and my invention consists in thenovel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter specificallydescribed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, formingpart hereof, in which like letters indicate like parts wherever theyoccur.

Referring to said drawings, A is the shell of the heater, in the heads ca of which is secured the cylinder B, the said heads having largeopenings Zi b, surrounded by inwardly-projecting flanges c c, to whichsaid cylinder is riveted near the ends thereof, respectively.Immediately below said cylinder the heads of said shell are alsoprovided with the manheads, closed by the plates e e. Said cylinder B isprovided with a similar but smaller cylinder C, extending longitudinallyof the same, in the sides of which, near the bottom, areformed a seriesof perforations d d, the ends of said last-mentioned cylinder havingwater-inlets s s. The said cylinder is also provided with a number ofvertical Vpipes ff, around which are secured a number of pans,preferably formed in two sections to permit of their ready removal. Aseries of pans h 71 supported on the bands it, which surround thecylinder C and are secured thereto, are arranged on either side andbelow1 said pans CZ' d and on different horizontal planes for thepurpose hereinafter set forth. A chamber E, in which any suit-- ablepurifying agent, as charcoal or the like, may be charged, is connectedwith said shell at X, and a vertical pipe 7c, extending from the upperend of said chamber, connects with the horizontal pipe Z, Which entersthe shell in the upper side. The same serves to maintain equal pressurein said shell and chamber. A pipe n, which may be provided with astrainer m, serves to connect said chamber with a pump. (Not shown.)

The operation of my device is as follows: Vater being admitted theretothrough the inlet-pipes s s enters the small cylinder and passestherefrom through the perforationsd d into the larger cylinder, whereinand in the small cylinder the'carbonates contained in the Water aredeposited. "When said large cylinder is full,it overflows therefromthrough the pipes in the upper side thereof onto the top series of pans,and thence it descends from one series of pans to the other into thebottom of the shell, and from thence it passes through the purifier intothe pump. Steam is introduced through pipes T T, which communicate Withthe ends of cylinder B at the bottom thereof.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

l. The combination of thevinner cylinder @havingperforations d andWater-inlet pipes s, with the concentric inclosing cylinder B havingsteam-inlet pipes T and outlets f, and the casing A having heads Whichclose said cylinders and in which the said inlet-pipes are fixedsubstantially as and for the purpose set forth. Y

2. The inner cylinder C having water-inlets at its ends and perforationsin its under side,

in combination with the concentric cylinder the said inlets fixed inthem, substantially es B having steam-inlets in its ends at the botsetforth. 1o tom thereof` and outlets at its top, a series of In testimonywhereof I affix my signature pans arranged on the outside of the saidouter in the presence of two Witnesses.
